Steve Lacy Gleefully Trolls Drake After Rapper Calls Him A “Fragile Opp”

Drake’s recent appearance on xQc’s stream – during which he seemed to respond to Kendrick Lamar, his new album GNX, and much more beef-related stuff – was a pretty fun one overall. It was just two guys hanging around and talking with fans, so when things turned more combative sometimes, it was hard for some folks to take them super seriously… Including Steve Lacy. The 6ix God called the singer and guitarist a “fragile opp” while giving praise to his hit “Bad Habit.” In response, The Internet’s Lacy took to Instagram to post various responses to the diss, including one meme that read, “who tryna be my… fragile opp.”

You may be asking why in the world Drake would have a problem with Steve Lacy, but there’s a very simple answer: he’s from Compton. He attended Kendrick Lamar’s “Pop Out” concert on Juneteenth this year, appeared in the “Not Like Us” music video, and has had a good working relationship with Kendrick in the public eye since 2017 with their DAMN. collab, “PRIDE.” As for K.Dot, he also seemed to respond to Drizzy’s words on xQC’s stream, and he was also quite amused.

Steve Lacy Laughs At Drake’s Jabs

As for what Steve Lacy and Kendrick Lamar could get up to in the future, the former actually teased a collab for his upcoming album. “I’m moved by what’s weird,” Lacy told Fantastic Man about what are the types of artists that he wants to collaborate with. “It’s almost like I hear them, and I think, I need to call this person. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want a Kendrick verse. […] I don’t feel tough,” he said of being at “The Pop Out.” “We were at the run-through, and I was, like, ‘How am I here?’ But I was so honored.. I thought I would never be in the conversation. It was cool.”

We will see in due time whether or not Drake, Kendrick Lamar, or Steve Lacy will continue to address this battle or if they will move past it eventually. We hope that’s the case, because so much beef can’t be good for your health.

Lil Wayne Warns He Will “Destroy If Disturbed” After Kendrick Lamar’s “GNX” Lyric

Lil Wayne seemingly responded to Kendrick Lamar mentioning him on his new album, GNX, by asking for peace but warning, “I shall destroy if disturbed.” Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Wayne wrote without mentioning Lamar by name: “Man wtf I do?! I just be chillin & dey still kome 4 my head. Let’s not take kindness for weakness. Let this giant sleep. I beg u all. No one really wants destruction, not even me but I shall destroy if disturbed. On me. Love.”

As for Lamar’s mention of Wayne, he rapped on the track, “wacced out murals”: “I used to bump ‘Tha Carter 3’, I held my Rollie chain proud. Irony, I think my hard work let Lil Wayne down… Got the Super Bowl and Nas the only one congratulate me, all these n****s agitated I’m just glad it’s on they faces.” The lyrics come after the NFL chose Lamar as the headliner to the upcoming Super Bowl Halftime Show over Lil Wayne.

Wayne felt that with his hometown of New Orleans hosting the game, the league should’ve selected him as the performer. Reflecting on their decision at his recent Lil Weezyana Festival, he told his fans: “I said to myself, ‘I want to be onstage for the Super Bowl one day, in front of my mom.’ And I worked my a** off to get that f**kin’ position. It was ripped away from me. But this moment right here — they can’t take that away from me.”

Lil Wayne Seemingly Addresses Kendrick Lamar

Lamar dropped GNX by surprise on Friday afternoon as his sixth studio album. It features appearances from AzChike, Deyra Barrera, Dody6, Hitta J3, Ink, Peysoh, Roddy Ricch, Sam Dew, Siete, SZA, Wallie the Sensei, and YoungThreat.

Future Reveals Why Kendrick Lamar’s “Like That” Verse Frustrated Him

Future has had quite a year. He dropped three stellar albums in ten months, two of which were made in collaboration with Metro Boomin. The duo will be featured in an upcoming GQ interview to discuss their historic output. There were candid discussions about the process of creating together, but the biggest takeaway from the interview was the way Future’s felt toward Kendrick Lamar. Dot’s verse on “Like That” catapulted the song to number one, but Pluto felt he was slighted by a verse that openly dissed Drake and J. Cole.

It may sound like an odd reason to be angry, but Future remains steadfast. He ultimately felt that K. Dot excluded him from discussion of the “Big Three” on his own song. “He said ‘Big Three’ on my song,” the rapper noted. “I’m supposed to be the one who gets mad; I’m still confused about that.” Future was also frustrated by the fact that nobody, peers or fans, asked how he felt about being excluded from the “Big Three” discussion. He perceived this, in some ways, as being more offensive that the direct disses that Drake and Cole received. “Nobody cares about what I think,” Future added. “That’s what was so f*cked up about the sh*t.”

Future Is Still “Confused” About His Big Three Exclusion

Future holds Kendrick Lamar responsible for not taking him seriously on his own song. He points to the other so-called members of the “Big Three,” however, when it came to their responses. Future believed he had far more reason to be offended by Dot’s verse than Drizzy or Cole. “I ain’t part of this Big Three, I’m nobody on my song, man,” he told GQ. “If I didn’t get mad, nobody should have gotten mad! Like, why is everybody mad when he was talking about me on my song?” The part of the interview that has confused most fans, though, is when Future claimed to be unaware of the brewing “Big Three” beef.

The rapper claimed to be out of the loop on the tension brewing between Kendrick Lamar, Drake and J. Cole. “There was a beef?,” he recalled thinking. “I didn’t even know there was a beef. I didn’t even know they had nothing going on. Ain’t never participated in rap battles, man…” Fans have noted that there was already tension between Future, Metro Boomin and Drake, so the notion of Pluto being blind to what was going on prior to “Like That” is a bit convenient. Either way, it sounds like the fallout from the beef, and K. Dot’s verse, is still being felt.

Offset & Lil Baby’s Rumored Instagram Disses Debunked

Offset and Lil Baby reportedly didn’t intend to diss one another with their recent posts on their respective Instagram Stories. On late Friday night, Baby posted a selfie with the caption: “F*ck you 2x.” Two hours later, Offset posted a selfie of himself flipping off the camera with the caption: “Do sum.” Seeing as the two haven’t always been on the best of terms, fans quickly assumed they were dissing each other.

“I thought lil baby and offset was gon stop the beef but I see not,” one user on X (formerly Twitter) wrote in response to the posts on Saturday. Another asked: “Why offset & lil baby beefin?” with several laughing emojis. Rumors of an alleged rift between Baby and the members of the Migos have circulated for years at this point.

Back in 2022, Baby shot down having any issues with the group. “Hell nah!” he said of the idea during an interview with Posted on the Corner. “I don’t even want to comment on that type of stuff. I feel like when I comment on something, it makes it bigger. First of all, I really don’t see sh*t on the internet. People send me sh*t and I be wanting to comment, but then I feel like that’s just gonna make it even more… But they know I ain’t got nothing going on with them.”

Pharrell Williams Has The Perfect Response For Drake’s “Meltdown” Diss

When you are the GQ Designer of the Year, you deserve to act cool and confident. That’s exactly the type of energy that Pharrell Williams is exuding right now in his feature for the recognition. Overall, you really can’t argue for anyone else given how big of a year he’s having. His impact as Louis Vuitton men’s creative director has been astounding so far and he’s sure to continue growing the department. While congratulations are in order for the Virginia multi-talent, the Piece by Piece creative is sparking some reactions thanks to a quote from the feature. During the Q&A, Pharrell was asked about his Joopiter auction platform and the lavish custom jewelry he sold.

If you remember, Drake got his hands on some of the pieces, leading the interviewer to ask how he felt about that. Pharrell showed class as usual, replying, “No, because I think beyond all of the on-goings, at the heart of all of it, he’s a fan of music. He’s a fan of the history of what it is, and I happen to be a part of that, and those artifacts are a part of it.” Overall, he had no problem with The Boy being the buyer and that response had the GQ writer following up with a heavy-hitting question.

Pharrell Is Unfazed By Drake

“And then when he was rapping about melting the jewelry down and saying, “Come get his legacy out my house” and all that stuff, how did that strike you?” “It didn’t,” Pharrell replied. “That didn’t strike you?” the reporter asked. “No.” If there were a definition of a mic drop, this would be it.

Of course, this is all a reference back to Drake’s fiery bars for Pusha T (and Pharrell to an extent) on Travis Scott’s “MELTDOWN” from UTOPIA. “Man, f*** all that spinnin’ the narrative s*** / I melt down the chains that I bought from yo’ boss / Give a f*** about all of that heritage s*** / Since V not around, the members done hung up the Louis, they not even wearing that s***.” Overall, it seems like Pharrell and Drizzy’s relationship may never be repaired, but it seems like that really isn’t weighing too much on the former one bit.

DeMar DeRozan Issues Unbothered Response To Drake’s Raptors Game Dig

Yesterday, Drake threw some serious shade at DeMar DeRozan at the Toronto Raptors’ game against the Sacramento Kings. He came out for Vince Carter’s jersey retirement ceremony, and when asked what he thought about the idea of DeRozan being honored on the team’s broadcast, he shut it down.

“If you ever put a DeRozan banner up, I’ll go up there and pull it down myself,” he remarked. Drake also said it’s “unfortunate we’re playing this goof tonight” in reference to DeRozan, and was spotted staring him down throughout the evening. Fortunately, it doesn’t look like DeRozan was too bothered by all of this. After the game, he brushed off Drake’s banner comment when asked about it. “He’s going to have a long way to climb to take it down, so tell him good luck,” he said.

DeMar DeRozan Tells Drake, “Good Luck”

It remains unconfirmed exactly what prompted Drake to start taking swipes at DeRozan. Social media users, however, have some theories. DeRozan, for one, appeared at Kendrick Lamar’s “Pop Out” show and in his “Not Like Us” music video. It’s possible that Drizzy saw this as a breach of loyalty, even though DeRozan previously claimed he still considers the rapper a friend.

“Drake’s still my man, still my man, none of it changed,” DeRozan told The Sacramento Bee in July. “It’s so easy to get overlooked and look at it for what it looks like, but at the end of the day it’s music, entertainment. Two of the biggest rappers in the world went at it from a competitive standpoint and they battled it out. That’s what you want to see as a fan: Kobe (Bryant) playing (Michael) Jordan 1-on-1 and see who wins, see the trash talking, and whoever wins out of that, you’re still going to have the debate, so that’s all that is.” What do you think of DeMar DeRozan’s response to Drake dissing him at the Raptors game yesterday?

Ola Runt Responds To Playboi Carti’s 2020 Diss Song After Prison Release

Ola Runt and Playboi Carti do not get along. The two rappers have been going at one another for years. Playboi Carti went as far as to aim a diss track at Ola Runt on his 2020 album, Whole Lotta Red. The diss was titled “Stop Breathing,” but Runt was already behind bars by the time it dropped. Well, Runt was let out at the end of August, and he’s eager to pick the beef back up. He hopped on Instagram and made it very clear that he has a response track ready to go. He previewed the song in a car, and leveled some aggressive threats at Playboi Carti.

Ola Runt’s diss is reportedly titled “All Dead.” The title seems to be riffing on Playboi Carti’s most recent single, “All Red.” Runt calls out the enigmatic Playboi Carti for failing to get his music played in his native Atlanta. “Whole Lotta Red,” Ola Runt raps. “How you say that’s music but the A don’t play it.” The rapper then goes after Carti’s masculinity. “P**sy n**ga you wearin’ thongs, I bet you shave your legs,” he adds. Ola Runt took things a step further by tagging Playboi Carti on Instagram. He also targeted Carti’s crew, Homixide Gang.

Ola Runt Claims Carti’s Music Doesn’t Get ATL Play

It was only a matter of time before Ola Runt responded to “Stop Breathing.” Playboi Carti’s 2020 song was a scathing diss that went after Runt’s Henchmen crew. Bars like “I got n**gas in chain gang on my side” and “I had the n**gas shank Ola for a pie” made it clear Carti wasn’t playing around. The conflict between these two men stem from the death of Carti’s friend Bigg Sosa. It’s widely believed that Runt’s crew was responsible for Sosa’s death in 2023. “Ever since my brother died (Died, what? What? Yeah),” Carti added on the song. “I’ve been thinkin’ ’bout homicide.”

DaBaby Is “Manifesting” A Megan Thee Stallion Collab Despite Previously Alleging They Slept Together

It’s no secret that Megan Thee Stallion and DaBaby have made some great music together. Unfortunately, however, it’s unclear whether or not they ever will again. Back in 2022, he unveiled his album Baby On Baby 2, and threw some serious shade on “BOOGEYMAN.” Essentially, he alleged that he slept with Meg right before she was shot by Tory Lanez.

“The day before she said that Tory Lanez shot her, I was f*ckin’ on Megan Thee Stallion,” he raps. “Waited to say that sh*t on my next album/ Hit it the day before too.” He was also previously called out by Meg for retweeting a joke about the shooting. Now, DaBaby seems interested in teaming up with her again despite this, as he thinks that none of her other collaborations live up to what they’ve created in the past.

“I got love for Meg,” he explained during his recent appearance on Drink Champs. “Me and Meg did some dope sh*t together. And it’s good to see her rise amongst the obstacles. I’m manifesting a song with Glo and Meg together and Baby. I think that’s the way me and Meg should pop back out. Because I feel like ain’t none of these n****s — and no disrespect — that y’all are making music with can really embody that.” DaBaby went on to add that he has nothing bad to say about Meg or any other Black women in the industry.

“Come home, baby,” he said. “You ain’t gotta be making all that l*me sh*t with none of these other n****s. We can come get it in. Or, you know, we can not… Shout out to Meg and any other female out here doing their thing. I don’t got nothing bad to say about no Black woman doing their muthaf*ckin thing man. I ain’t tripping, it’s hard enough out here.” What do you think of DaBaby claiming that he wants to collaborate with Megan Thee Stallion again despite previously trying to embarrass her?

DJ Akademiks Slammed By His Own Followers For Constantly Sneak Dissing Kendrick Lamar

DJ Akademiks is coming under fire in the comments section of one of his latest posts on Instagram for using every opportunity to dunk on Kendrick Lamar that he can. Ak had shared a clip of Daylyt saying that many people on the West Coast used to hate on Lamar’s style of music.

“You know what I really hated about Kendrick Lamar’s Pop Out show? It was a lot of n****s saying, ‘that rap sh*t isn’t gonna work.’ And these n****s was front row,” Daylyt said in the video. “I’m from the West Coast so I’m gonna go ahead and say it. All those n****s used to sh*t on Kendrick. A lot of n****s in the West used to sh*t on Kendrick. I remember.” From there, he recalled everyone else being on “goofy time,” but Lamar sticking to pure hip-hop, which he says angered a lot of people.

In the comments, fans complained about Ak’s constant support of Drake. “Ak is on a historic glazing run. One for the record books,” one user wrote. Another added: “A Kendrick smear campaign months after the beef is a different level of bothered on behalf of Drake. Insane.” One more fan commented: “AK you literally Celebrated the end of Kendrick 15 minutes before he dropped not like us and you conceded … at this point it’s like your living out resentment instead of reality.”

Tyler, The Creator Cooks Elon Musk By Changing Concert Lyrics: Watch

Tyler, The Creator says and does what he wants. He has undergone several phases, in terms of his subject matter and musicality, but the one constant is his irreverent sense of humor. If Tyler, The Creator has a problem with somebody, they are going to know it. Case in point, the rapper’s recent performance at ACL Fest. He performed a version of his classic 2017 song “911/Mr. Lonely,” but instead of referencing Elon Musk in a positive light, as he did on the recording, he flipped the lyrics to diss Musk.

Musk has become persona non grata in popular culture. He’s become one of the most memed and mocked celebrities in the world, and Tyler, The Creator has taken note. The original lyrics on “911/Mr. Lonely” are seemingly indifferent to Musk. The rapper works the Tesla founder into his verse because it worked with the rhyme scheme and the bar about not requiring gas. “Can’t see straight, these shades are Céline Dion,” he raps. “Sucks you can’t gas me up, shout out to Elon… Musk, yeah I got a sold out show. Crowd wild out but don’t matter ’cause you not front row.” Tyler didn’t want it to sound like he shouted out the controversial X (formerly Twitter) owner, though, and made an aggressive change.

Tyler, The Creator Used To Be A Huge Musk Fan

“Man f*ck Elon,” Tyler, The Creator rapped to an ecstatic crowd. The rapper change of heart is not uncommon. Musk used to be a semi-popular figure to praise/reference. In 2016, Tyler even heaped praise on Musk for providing an electric alternative to gas powered vehicles. Ironically, the praise was through the app that Musk would eventually purchase, Twitter. “@elonmusk I LOVE YOU THANK YOU FOR CHANGING THE WORLD,” he wrote. “AND MAKING THE EVIL OIL MEN WHO RUN THE WORLD HATE YOU.” Tyler truly adored Musk during the mid-2010s, and would even have exchanges with the inventor on the platform.

Tyler also praised Musk during a 2015 appearance on Hot 97. The rapper was there to promote his album, Cherry Bomb, but he went off book and decided to shine a light on Musk’s achievements. He even compared the Tesla founder to rap moguls like JAY-Z, Master P and Diddy. The last one has not aged well, from any conceivable angle, but it’s hard to hold Tyler, The Creator accountable for that. He could not have known how the last decade was going to play out. A lot of people have seemingly fallen out of love with Musk, and Tyler is at the top of the list.
